HB Art of Directing is a hands-on course that gives new Directors a chance to with Playwrights. The collaboration between director and playwright on the development of a new play in process requires communication, curiosity, and a deeply cultivated understanding of the writer’s intentions and modes of expression. A successful collaboration creates a bond of trust that can lead to other ventures.
